Real talk you have to know what to order or you probably wont think this place is very good. I love mole poblano and its the only place I know to get it. Here are my recommendations: Garlic chicken bowl, tacos Jeorge, mole poblano w/ side of tomatillo salsa, rajas con crema and to drink either a negra modelo on tap or the LA CAsuela( to share) its huge read more

Not impressed with the Grand Opening of Las Casuelas on Sylvan. I arrived at 2pm and left before 3pm. Lunch time... Chips too thick, not light. Bean Dip bland and watered down. Salsa bland and not spicy. Food was also bland. Had 2 item Chicken Enchilada and Carnita Taco which should have been 1 for item $12, 2 items $14. Enchilada. Chicken bland. The saving grace was the green sauce. Microwaved melted cheese on top. Nothing else inside tortilla. Taco. Carnita bland. Tortilla between soft and crispy, but too soft. Added a 3rd item or ala carte Chile Verde Pork Burrito to try out another meat. Burrito was ok because it was Chile Verde pork. Burrito about 3" to 4" long and about 1 1/2" wide. It was small with meat only. Not worth $5. Dinner is $15, $17, $19 which I was charged for 3 items at $19. I asked about it, got no answer and charged dinner price anyways with no explanation. Service was bad. Maybe me and another customer. I did not see the server to get a refill on drink until I was done with eating. Memo's was a good restaurant I always looked forward to eat. Sad the partnership dissolved or whatever it was to change. Las Casuelas, blah. Never again!!! BTW FYI. No Senior discount. read more

From the moment I stepped in to the building it took five minutes to even get acknowledgement from the staff. We are seated and our server couldn't list more than three beers on tap. Seem flustered when we asked for more than water. We waited and waited now the table behind us had not only placed their order but about finished when finally had a different server come to finally take our appetizer order. Still no refills or utensils. My family and I gave this place an hour and fifteen mins of wasted time with the worst service I have experienced at a restaurant. To the management do better, you want customers to come back then train your staff. Lack of customer service. read more

Finally had the chance to try this spot after my co worker hyped it up to me and I have to say the hype was reaaalll. We did not have reservations but we were seated within 5-10 minutes and the food was FAST. I was amazed honestly. The drink was bomb and the food was delicious. Our waiter was super sweet. Definitely can't wait to come here again. read more

" DON"T DO IT, RIP OFF & the food is awful.. Take it from a real LATINA. I stated to Omar, the manager that this is not my first time having issues with the quality of their food and service. Staff always forgets a part of your order, or the order is incorrect, and when you notify them. They put you on hold for a very long time. All staff is rude and very unprofessional. I stated to Omar, that I'm documenting these issues and my history with them on YELP. Hopefully another customer won't have to go through this drama/mess. My husband went to pickup my order. After he paid $19 cash for a 32 oz of chicken soup. It had very little juice, no flavor, very little of carrots, potatoes, and squash. The girl stated to him " we don't give back change ( $150.) 50 cents was from my change being a $150. It's not about the money it's the principal. This also happened once before. They keep the coins for a tip but just take it without telling nor asking the customer if it's ok? In regards to customer's change. Omar, the manager took my order & stated repeatedly I got you and I'll take care of you and I'll get it right. Omar is Rude, and very incompetent. I'm a very proud Latina, woman and know REAL authentic Mexican food. Their Spanish rice tasted old, dry, hard, and no flavor. I cannot believe this establishment, is still in business. I also filed a complaint with Better Business Bureau and filed an incident report with MPD, because they are stealing money from customers. If you want local authentic Mexican food, and a fair prices, please check out La Huerta Vieja, on standiford & Prescott in Modesto. The owner Frank, and his staff are very professional and friendly. Their food never disappoints and is delicious. read more

After driving about 6 hours from LA and spending a long day taking care of family business it was time to shake off a little stress. We all decided on finding some good local Mexican cuisine and we chose Las Casuelas... one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to thus far. This is how I will start my review and yes I say one of the best even considering the plethora of Mexican restaurants I've been to in all of Los Angeles. I arrived with my group and we walked in. A very lively bar area to the left and a very nice dining area to the right. Spanish decor everywhere with emphasis on cooking pots and bowls, hence the name of the restaurant. We ordered a good selection items... Pollo con Chili Molcajete with chicken, steak, and shrimp Quesadilla Al Pastor Taco Truck Style Torta Tacos Dorados All of which was very delicious and the portions were very generous. I had a traditional Cadillac Margarita which looked innocent but had a good amount of fuel to almost kick me to the curb. There Manga Margarita which was large a tasty as well. We showed up a little on the late side. About an hour before closing. I prefer to avoid going to a restaurant close to closing time so I felt we were cutting it close. That being said, the staff was super ultra mega friendly and hospitable, beyond expectation considering how close it was to closing time. This place is great! read more

Terrible service. Order was wrong and they didn't want to correct it. I had to box my food to go and order and pay for the meal I wanted. First and last time I will be coming to eat at this restaurant. If food is wrong it needs to get corrected and not get refused. Terrible I say terrible service!. read more

The water taste like chlorine! Food is alright- nothing special. The atmosphere is good and the staff was pleasant.

First of all, our family came for Christmas from out of town. Day after Christmas, we decided to try this restaurant. The waitress gave us lunch menus. We all ordered off the lunch menu and asked the waitress questions about the menu. I wanted a garlic shrimp dinner, she said, it was 19.00. I asked her if the shrimp bowl on the lunch menu was good for 15.00? She said, "it's OK." I ordered that to save a few bucks. My whole family ordered off the lunch menu. When we got our checks, we were absolutely shocked! My shrimp bowl was 20.00, not 15.00. My families meals were all higher. We asked why? She said, "Well, when I took your cards to pay, it was no longer giving me the lunch price, so u got charged the regular price!" Really???? How awful are these people to do this to others. One shrimp bowl & soda came over 26.00. Rediculous! She would not change it no matter how much we explained that we were there ordering at 2:30 & should hv been charged for lunch! She allowed us to order off lunch menu, but when we paid, of course it's going to be after 3:00. That was so wrong on many levels. We will never be back. It's sad that a restraunt will rip people off like that. It's so wrong!!! No wonder they are not doing as well as they should. When you treat customers like this...they will NOT, be back! read more

Las Casuelas - Shoutout to the best bartender/ server Marcus @bunbamarx - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

Great shopping center location so plenty of parking. Entrance is open to the bar area. We called a week before to reserve a table of 12 only to be told we needed to come in person with a $50 deposit. Since we all live out of the area this didn't work. When we arrived they made it difficult to be seated; they wanted an exact number and would not set up till we could confirm. Was told we're not going to setup for 100 people and only 5 show. (Not even close to our request). Server was pleasant but not thrilled we asked for 4 separate checks. Food was unremarkable; would not return. read more

My gawd- don't do it. I'm going to save you $60...DONT DO IT! The hubs and I strolled in for the first time on a weekday afternoon around 1:30pm. First, the only acknowledgement was from the bartender who told us to sit wherever we wanted. The service went downhill from there. The whole meal, our server seemed less than interested in us and like he really didn't want to be speaking to anyone. Now the food- holy hell the food... The bacon wrapped shrimp were cooked to a double death! Like...barely edible and no sauce. *cough* so dry I got the chicken taquitos- first bite...a long bone came out in my bite. No thank you. Luckily hubs was kind enough to switch with me. He had ordered the Torta Milenesa- so the fries that were with this were actually bomb. Great spice. The meat was so lackluster and had no seasoning. 2 stars because there weren't any roaches or anything crazy like that. But still....don't do it! read more

I'm pretty sure this place scammed me today... I think they it things on my bill that we didn't order. I tried calling the restaurant, but they aren't answering the phone??? I like the food here, but I'm not happy. read more

Love coming to have dinner and drinks. We usually get our regulars taco truck tacos and bacon wrapped shrimp which are our favorite go to meals. I have tried their molcajetes which is good but I have tried better elsewhere. I recently tried their shrimp ceviche tostadas and was really impressed. They give you 4 tostadas which was so filling. The chip and salsa dip also comes with a bean dip which is so good! Their skinny margaritas are bomb! Their waiters and bartenders are always on point with service. If your looking for a new spot, you won't be disappointed! read more

Went last night and now my family of 6 has food poisoning. Non stop vomiting and diarrhea.

Very good food and well priced for quality and portions. My daughter had the super burrito and I got the garlic chicken, which came with rice, beans, guacamole and tortillas. We also ordered horchata. It was good but a little on the too sweet side. They also have a kids menu with the usual food options in case your child isn't into eating Mexican food. All diners get fresh chips with beans and a spicy salsa (and you can buy some of this and other sauces of theirs to go). So one star knocked since it was somewhat dirty and we had to ask for silverware a few times before we finally got it. I guess there are some messy eaters here because we came at noon and they were vacuuming most of the time we were there. On the bright side at least they were trying to keep things clean. I also had to ask for my beans (my meal came with them but they didn't bring me any). Overall, a great place and I'd still love to come back. read more

So ridiculous. I requested to sit outside and ofcourse also requested the umbrella for shade considering that it is early afternoon and the is beaming. They literally say they are no longer serving outside and the umbrellas were not in their restuarant. BULLSHIT! LAZY LAZY LAZY! Wtf! Forget the pandemic if you have tables available for sitting outside why wouldn't you have the umbrellas available??? Fucken bullshit! Wanted to enjoy a margarita and a nice lunch, but I guess not here! read more

We visited Modesto for a conference and this was recommended by someone, the only reason they get 2 stars is for the great service we were provided....my sister ordered a chili verde chimichanga and within 3 hours she was sicker than anything and throwing up from the bad pork that she was served. read more

I feel like this is a default place to grab dinner when no one wants to cook. It's always busy and the food is always solidly middle ground but it's never blown us away and the service is always decent. We've had a few instances where we order food to go and get home and have something totally different from what we actually wanted to order. That said they've always solved the problem and been sorry for the experience. They have a great house salsa and you can always be seated quickly. Plus if you're starving you can usually get your takeout in 20 minutes or less. Overall a great restaurant to grab when you don't know what else to get but not at the top of my cravings list. I will admit they have a great garlic chicken platter and their asada is pretty good too. read more

Felt like Mexican food! I have been here multiple times but this is my first time giving a review. Service was not pleasant or inviting we had to ask for menus to order and chip and salsa. We ordered the food came out fast and hot! I gave them a 3 star for customer service. read more

This place takes the cake when it comes to lousy customer service. Attended a birthday celebration here last Saturday and mind you, drove from out of town for this dinner. We called ahead to make a reservation and was told there are no reservations and that it was first come first serve. We arrived with our party of 8 (adults + kids) and were seated in a private dining area. We did not request this setting, but it was nice since we were celebrating a birthday. Once we finished our meals, we were making the most of our visit since we were visiting from out of town and were chatting amongst ourselves. We were then told that we had been there too long (no time restrictions posted) and needed to move to accommodate another party that put a deposit down for that space (this kind of sounds like a reservation to me, but ok). They refused anymore service if we didn't move. The delivery of the messaging was awful, distasteful and rude. We were told we can sit at the bar. With the kids and a toddler? mmhm okay...what a joke. Definitely will not be returning here. Management and their hospitality team need some training for sure. If you want to be rushed and if you don't mind table hopping then this the place for you. read more

The customer service good and chicken soup was delicious. They were busy so they forgot our tortillas and almost gave us the wrong change. I would definitely be back though for the soup. read more

Went her with the fam for the first time. The service was superb and we were sat promptly. I ordered the Garlic Beef Bowl and is was phenomenal. Great marinated steak, bell peppers and onions, over a bed of rice. So good! Kids meals are 50% off Mon/Tue/Wed and the kids meal fries are the best in town. Overall, the food was great, service was stellar and prices were decent. Will definitely be back. read more

I like the food a lot. I like enchiladas. They are so good. I like salsa verde. Yeah pretty straight forward Mexican food

My family of four and I came here last night for the first time in a long time. We were quickly reminded why we never ate there. This place I has terrible service. And I mean terrible! There are employees EVERYWHERE talking, laughing and doing everything else other than helping customers. We finally got sat once the hostess came out of her conversation in the kitchen. We sat for 10 minutes before we even received chips and salsa and put in our drink order. Then, they came back to take our order. My husband received his plate first. Then about 10 minutes later, my kids received their two A La carte TACOS. Then about 20 minutes after my husband received his food, my meal finally showed up. It was bizarre. They weren't that busy and the server didn't even apologize. Take your money/time elsewhere. There are tons of delicious Mexican restaurants in this town. read more

We loved this place!!! Ambiance, decor, cleanliness and staff top notch. The food and drinks were outstanding. We will be back!

I'll have to pass. Not "authentic"; more Americanized. Had a beef enchilada plate. The beef was tough, the sauce very simple. Rice was very and beans were unflavored. No thanks. read more

This place was awesome for all the things I care about. I ordered the wet burrito and it tasted great with really good portions. Chips and salsa were fantastic. Prices were very fair and most importantly the service was excellent! Very attentive and friendly staff. read more

Poor customer service from the ladies working in the front! I went in Friday, they were rude, and not servile at all. Will not be returning.

I used to love this place. I started going around 10 years ago. I get the same thing Everytime...Shrimp Quesadilla. It's supposed to come with Shrimp, grilled onions and bell peppers. Yesterday I came in with my family and I ordered my shrimp quesadilla and what I received was a somewhat toasted Tortilla with a few pieces of shrimp (possibly 2 shrimp in total if you put them all together), some raw Bell pepper and I kid you not... About half of a RAW ONION. Not grilled, not sauteed, not cooked at all. It was the biggest disappointment I've ever seen in a Mexican dish... Let alone from here. They have slowly gone down hill over the years, but today was just unacceptable. I don't think I'll ever be back.. read more

Really disappointed. We have been there before and it was good, but a couple of days ago, not so good. I ordered a cheese enchilada and the cheese wasn't even melted. We told the waiter and he said it looked like shedded cheese that hadn't melted and said sorry and that was all. We will not be going back! read more

One of our favorite restaurants in the Modesto area. Very good happy hour options and excellent service.
